BA Communication Sciences and Disorders

The Elmira College undergraduate program in Communication Sciences and Disorders provides students with two routes to the B.S. degree. The non-teaching major, Speech and Hearing (SPH), prepares students for entry into graduate programs in Speech-Language Pathology or Audiology. The Speech and Language Disabilities (SLD) major leads to the New York State initial teaching certificate in Speech and Language Disabilities. Both options provide students with a sound basis for continued study and ultimately for licensure and/or certification by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
